Joe Knows How To Live

Blue Monday morning at the factory gate

Almost time to clock in

The boys were all betting that Joe wouldn't show

'Cause they had seen him over the weekend

He had four new tires on that old Cadillac

Betty the waitress and some clothes in the back

Dashboard full of road-maps of Mexico

Joe knows how to live

He says, "Women were made to love, money is made to spend

Life is something, buddy, you will never live again"

Oh I got to admit Joe sure knows how to live

By now they'll be down at the ocean

He and Betty stretched out somewhere

Only blue in his life is the blue moonlight

Bouncing off Betty's blonde hair

Oh I can just see him rolling 'round in the sand

I never thought I was a jealous man

When I think what he's doing and what I'm not

Oh I'm jealous a lot

Women are made to love, money is made to spend

Life is something, buddy, you will never live again

Oh I got to admit Joe sure knows how to live

Now Betty's back home with her mother

Joe's back on the assembly line

But he brings in his pictures and his Mexican hat

Just to remind us sometimes

He says, "Women are made to love, money is made to spend

Life is something, buddy, you will never live again"

Oh I got to admit Joe sure knows how to live

Oh I hate to admit it, Joe sure knows how to live

Man, they'd have fired me if I'da done that

You know

Another thing, I don't see how he got Betty away from her mama

That ol' girl watches her all the time

You think Joe's wife knows about that yet?
